Ahoy, Me Hearties! Maelstrom Sets Sail Into Early Access

Gunpowder Games has announced that its pirate ship battle royale game, Maelstrom, has officially set sail into Steam Early Access. Players can head over to Steam to check out the latest information about upcoming plans for the game via the roadmap, as well as further information about stretch goals and what's already in the pipeline.

The goal is to: Plunder as much gold as possible while outwitting and outgunning all others and be the last ship sailing.

Be ruthless! Sink other players ships, take their loot and collect their bounty!

Be greedy! Maps are littered with floating treasure chests and ships loaded with gold.

Be cunning! As the match progresses hungry sea monsters become more aggressive and encroach the safe waters ships can sail in. Ships sailing in 'Dead Waters' for too long end up as monster chow!

Be unsinkable! At the end of a match ships can be upgraded and customized with captains, cannons, armor, mates and more!
